When are the Republicans going to stop following a despot and start behaving like they are leaders in a republic form of government? President Trump rules as a dictator, thus the executive orders. He may be a business negotiator, but he is not a government leader. Leaders in a republic build consensus. Trump does not know how to do that.

He is surprised when people disagree. He insults and raves when people or media question him. He tries to silence one of the most precious aspects of a democratic society, the free press. These are signs of dictatorship, not democracy.

When will Republican leaders wake up? What more damage must he do before they realize that it is not his policies that are a problem, it is methods. His process is dangerous. We need Republican leaders to lead like they live in America, not Russia.
